She hails from Arizona, doesn't she?" "Yes. Here she is now; I hear you're an athlete, Zaly." "Only so-so," the girl replied, half-absently. "Have your friends gone?" asked Patty. "Yes." "I recognised them," began young Gale: "they were " Azalea turned to him quickly. "Don't you say who they were!" she cried, emphatically. "I don't want you to! Don't you dare mention their names! It's a secret!"
He took no notice of the retort, but answered half-absently a former question. "Yes; I used that long ago," he said. "You don't think I would write your name 'Genia' now, do you?" There was a dignity in his assumption of indifference in his absolute refusal to betray himself, which bore upon her conception of his manhood.
Sitting close beside him in the hay she decided to let him talk about his farm, while she listened half-absently. "But you have a foreman who could see the teams turned out, haven't you?" she asked, going back to the subject of his early rising. "I had, but he left me three or four days ago. It's a pity, since I've taken up rather more than I can handle this year." "Then why didn't you keep him?"
"The love-star's allus up early o' nights to give the men an' maids a chance!" "Yes, Venus is the evening star just now," rejoined Helmsley, half-absently. "Stow Venus! That's a reg'lar fool's name," said Peke surlily. "Where did ye git it from? That aint no Venus, that's just the love-star, an' it'll be nowt else in these parts till the world-without-end-amen!" Helmsley made no answer.
She looked up vacantly, half-absently, wondering what it was. Her eyes fell on Touclé. Touclé was looking at her, Touclé who so seldom looked at anything. She felt a momentary confusion as though surprised by another person in a room she had thought empty. And after that, uneasiness. She did not want Touclé to go on looking at her.
He kep' Brother Bill out, too, for a right smart spell." Tom was turning the memory pages half-absently. "Let me see," he said. "Didn't I hear something about your whaling the everlasting daylights out of Bledsoe sometime last winter?" Japheth hung his head after the manner of one who has spoiled a good argument by overstating it. "That ther's jest like me," he said disgustedly.
He sometimes was proud of his skill, and at others he was unreasonably vexed that this picture should be so much better than that of Mr. Hubbard promised to be. He had been talking this morning half-absently, and merely for the sake of keeping his sitter interested.
She spoke half-absently, as though momentarily forgetful of the child's presence. "Who's Nason?" asked Phœbe. Granny started. "I-to-goodness, Phœbe, I forgot! You don't know him, never heard of him, I guess. He's our boy. We had a little girl, too, but she died." "Did the boy die too, Granny?" "No, ach no! You wouldn't understand. He's living in the city.
"A complete change in the management of the Pacific Southwestern, Mr. Colbrith. North and his grafters must go." The President did not fly into wrathful shards, as Ford fully expected. On the contrary, he was fingering the white goat's-beard with one nervous hand, and apparently listening half-absently to the clamor in the street. "Don't be unreasonable, Mr. Ford," he said quite mildly.
"A 'hard world for gentlemen'!" meditated Joy, and laughed as she trailed one hand in the water. "It's a much harder one for ladies, if Allan but knew it!" She bent over, half-absently, to watch the water in the basin. It fascinated her, the flow of it, and it helped her to reason things out. There were several things that needed reasoning.
